Ah, le Français ... The Language of Business? Interfaces is a fully integrated, applied language series which targets business and technology at an intermediate level of French proficiency. Using natural dialogues and current information, your students will learn to communicate about the professional, technological, and personal aspects of business. Real-world scenarios introduce the skills needed to manage a variety of everyday situations: Job Hunting, Opening a Bank Account, Looking For Insurance, Calming Down Before an Interview or Business Meeting, and more! Here are just a few of Interfaces features:
